Bethany’s Fundraising Story
“For the past 2 1/2 years I have sold scentco products at my school monthly as a fundraiser for our comfort closet program. I chose to sell smencils because of the high quality, utility, fun factor of your product. Every month we launch a new scent which generates buzz and excitement amongst the students. Students LOVE collecting the different scents and decorative tubes. The variety of scents and themes is excellent, the students never tire of collecting smencils and constantly ask me when we are having the next sale. We have even branched out to other products and have sold smickers and smelly gellies to further our fundraising goals for our comfort closet program which helps needy families.”

Honorable Mention
Karen Strassburg
Rum River Elementary School
“We chose Scentco products for our fundraisers because the kids go bananas over them! We love that they are a low-cost option, they sell themselves, and if we have any left over, we can hold on to them for the next sale. We sell in two ways, either point of sale or our Mystery Smencil February sales! We sell them to raise funds for our all-school service learning project, Rum River Against Hunger, packing rice-based meals to donate to those in need. We love smencils!”

“We pick Scentco for our year-round fundraiser because you have quality products at an efficient price. The kids love the smelly pens and pencils. It’s a cost-friendly fundraiser while parents don’t have to go out selling items. We love seeing our kiddos light up when they get a new scent!”
